Lora's Hacienda home was a wonderful place to stay. Absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway to Ojai. Walking distance to town, and hiking trails. And the neighborhood itself is nice for walks. Lora's place is extremely clean and comfortable. Beds are SOOOOO comfortable. Lora was there the whole time, and was extremely attentive, but the guest rooms are very private and separate from the house, so it doesn't at all feel like you're rooming in someone's private space. Lora also had fresh orange juice for us each morning, where we drank it on her beautiful patio. She also stocks the mini-fridge in the room with milk and cereal, and leaves out a great selection of coffee, tea and fruit. She really goes above and beyond what I've experienced other AirBnB hosts to do, and staying at her home was more like staying at an actual Bed and Breakfast. I would definitely recommend her home. In fact, my own mom's planning a trip to Ojai and I'm going to make sure she books Lora's home. Lovely town, beautiful home, very comfortable stay, and a very kind and gracious host. Thank you, Lora!

Man what a great place, what a GREAT hostess. She left lots of little breakfast nibbles for us in the room, plus bread(gluten free on request) and butter and jam and fresh squeezed orange juice magically appeared in the mornings (and a delicious smoothie on our last day). Lora was so friendly and helpful lovely to talk to. Area had many trails within walking distance. Tons of wildlife. Walking distance to downtown. Only wish was that the TV and cable were situated in the same room as the big bed.

Lora's home is clean, inviting, and comfortable. There is no other place in Ojai that gives us the opportunity to feel at home, live like a local, and be able to walk just about anywhere. The sound of the fountain, the privacy, and the lovely little extras (morning coffee and breakfast, fresh fruit) made this one of our favorite spots on AirBnB. Thank you so much, Lora, for being a wonderful and gracious host.

What a wonderful stay with such a pleasant host. The freshly squeezed orange juice was almost worth the price of the stay!
The hacienda was great for my friend and I. We had separate bedrooms just down the hall from each other with the bathroom in between. We enjoyed cereal, fresh fruit and tea at the outside table next to the fountain.
I loved Ojai and definitely would stay here again.

Lora was a wonderful host/hostess. The description of the property was accurate. The property and accomations are spacious,home linand beautifully decorated. Lora had thought of ever detail such as bottled water,tea,coffee, bath salts etc. We enjoyed a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice each day.
I believe Lora could teach a class in how to operate an air b and b operation.
My traveling companion and I hope to return to her beautiful home in the future.
Thank you Lora,

Lora generously accepted a reservation for out of town friends of mine visiting from Canada in the Southern California area. They were thrilled with Lora, her beautiful and comfortable hacienda and her friendly manner. Her many special touches made them feel at home immediately. They wish they could have stayed longer and would certainly stay with Lora again.

If you want a place to stay in Ojai this is it! Lora has numerous 5 star reviews for the Oak Haven Hacienda but I was still surprised at how wonderful our experience was. Imagine you are visiting a really cool friend and lucky enough to be staying at her amazing home in Ojai. Lora was always around when we needed her but it felt like we had the entire home to ourselves. Delicious cereals and fruit with tea and coffee were supplemented each morning with fresh squeezed orange juice. The hacienda is in a quiet picturesque Ojai neighborhood within walking distance of the town and restaurants. I was travelling with my two adult children and in the middle of the stay a friend joined us. Lora was completely flexible and accomodating about arrival and departure times, how many people would be staying and on what nights. There were 3 rooms available to us and up to 5 people could sleep in the 1 double and 3 single beds. We had our own bathroom and our living space generally was the hacienda courtyard, although one of the rooms had a table we could sit at. The birds would wake us in the morning in flocks visiting the bubbling fountain. I particlularly appreciated and enjoyed the gardens, Lora is an avid and talented gardener. We did not have access to cooking facilities, but that was just as well because Ojai has numerous restaurants and we were on vacation. Do no forget to visit the Sunday Ojai Farmers Market, Santa Barbara was an easy drive and numerous hiking trails can be found in the area.

THANK YOU LORA, I hope I get a chance to return for a repeat visit. Definitely a place to return to!
